"The Night Listener" is a 2000 novel by Armistead Maupin, which is based on the author's interaction with Anthony Godby Johnson, the purported author of a book, "A Rock and a Hard Place: One Boy's Triumphant Story," both before and after Anthony is suspected of being a hoax. The novel's plot revolves around Gabriel Noone, a gay writer whose late-night radio stories have brought him into the homes of many listeners. Noone's publisher sends him the galleys of a memoir apparently written by a 13-year-old boy, Peter Lomax, who claims to have been the victim of sexual abuse and infected with HIV. Noone begins to suspect that Peter does not exist and that he and his memoir are fabrications by Donna Lomax, the psychologist who supposedly adopted him. The novel delves into the blurred lines between reality and illusion, and the consequences of deception.
